Information wrong of YY stock

please read the earnings report of March 5 2019 it says literally how many ADS outstanding and that non-gaap eps was not 4 dollars in 2018 but 7.38. The number of ADS you could read already in rhe November 2018 earnings report (63.5 million). So market cap was $4.9-5.0 billion. With the acquisition of Bigo (read March 5 2019 earnings report: $1.0 billion ADS shares will be created to pay the founder of Bigo. So the number of ADS goes to 75 million x 79 dollars is 5.9 billion market cap instead of 6.5B. Earnings per share non-gaap is every quarter around 1.75 to 1.88. 2018 ended 7.38 per share not 4 dollars per ADS !! Estimate of all analyst for 2019 are 6.80-7.00 as YY increased the number of ADS by 18–19%. Before this share issuance the eps 2019 was estimated 8.20-8.30
Hi - indeed we are using GAAP earnings estimates, not non-GAAP, hence the discrepancy. Regarding market cap: our data provider indicates there are 81.81 shares outstanding * $82.72 Friday's closing price.
the eps is 7.38 and not around 4. Your information is wrong you mix 1) share data with ADS data so your market cap is incorrect 2) your eps is incorrect. For all companies you have the non-gaap eps. For YY this is not the case: the 2018 eps is $7.38 per ADS (you have 3.87, which is not the eps per ADS non-gaap, you took or the number of shares which is wrong as this is a ADS and/or you used the gaap eps, which should be the non-gaap.
The right market cap is $5.6B (after the latest emision of shares to pay acquisition Bigo) instead of $6.5B (ask the company investor relations). And the eps is 7.38 for 2018 and 2019 is est 6.84. See Yahoo Finance and Zacks !
